Today we're talking about lust. Something that is over talked about but often miscommunicated in the Church. This is NOT for little ears - so be sure to put your earbuds on!



In this deeply personal and candid episode, I dive into Matthew 5:27-30, discussing the challenging topic of lust. I emphasize the importance of personal Bible study and prayer, encouraging you not to take my word for it but to seek God's guidance and wisdom directly. I openly share my struggles with lust, aiming to create a safe space for honest conversation and growth.

Scripture Reading: Matthew 5:27-30 (ESV)
Importance of Personal Bible Study: I encourage you to read and understand the Bible for yourself, emphasizing that I am not a Bible scholar but a fellow seeker of God's truth.
Struggles with Lust: I share my personal journey with lust, addressing the misconception that only men struggle with it and highlighting that women can face the same challenges.
Metaphorical Language of Jesus: I explain that Jesus often spoke in metaphors to convey deeper truths, using vivid imagery to help people understand the seriousness of sin.
Purity Culture and Misconceptions: Discussing the impact of purity culture, I address the harmful teachings that have affected many believers, including myself.
Sexual Desires: I reassure you that having sexual desires is not sinful, but acting on those desires outside of marriage is against God's design.
Addiction and Healing: I talk about the journey to overcome addiction to lustful content, stressing the importance of understanding the impact on oneself and others.
God's Love and Forgiveness: I emphasize that God's love is unconditional and that shame is a tool of the enemy. I encourage you to seek forgiveness and support from God to overcome your struggles.
